JanuaryThe Gluten Free Expo takes place in Vancouver in January each year. The Vancouver Chapter has consistently had its own booth at the event, in order to share information with patrons regarding Celiac disease and the work that we do, and to answer questions.

MarchOur annual general meeting takes place on a Sunday afternoon in March. We require a quorum of 10 members in order for the meeting to take place, and so we always encourage as many members as possible to attend and share their ideas and opinions. The meeting usually consists of informative presentations and lots of yummy food, so be sure to check it out!

JuneSince 2016, the Vancouver Chapter has had great success fundraising through the Scotiabank Charity Challenge as part of the Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon. Board members, volunteers, and other CCA members come together for a fun-filled day of "running gluten-free" and raising awareness for our association.

DecemberOur Chapter will usually hold a special holiday event for the month of December. This has historically consisted of either a dinner gathering or a gluten-free cookie exchange (or both). It's a great way to get us all in the holiday spirit!
